~ A crossover between Esteliel's Ethuil'waew, the first story in her Anestel series, and my Dark Prince.

The story begins in approximately 500 Third Age, when Mirkwood is still the Greenwood. Following Ethuil'waew, Imladris and the Greenwood have been in a state of war for hundreds of years.

Alone, on a mission into the enemy realm, Glorfindel, darkened by war and cynicism, comes upon Legolas, not knowing who he is, and rapes him.

Legolas is a fertile male, a gift bestowed on his bloodline in Doriath, and he becomes pregnant. To his father, Thranduil, this gift is wound only with anguish and guilt, and he banishes his youngest son.

In Anestel, Legolas, in grief, journeys to Imladris and Glorfindel, in A Light In The East he is found by a tribe of semi-nomadic people from the Sea of Rhun, who travel North each spring to trade. Thus Legolas is taken South, and falls into the hands of Vanimórë, son of Sauron, at this time, ruler of a great city in the Harad, Sud Sicanna.

Recognizing the lack of love in Legolas life, and his terrible soul wounds, Vanimórë reaches out with his mind to Glorfindel in Imladris. Thus begins Glorfindel's journey to find his son.

But Legolas is not entirely without friends in the Greenwood. His elder brother Celeirdúr, searching for him, comes to Imladris and becomes a hostage for peace between the lands. On his return to the Greenwood, he sees that Legolas might never have existed, so wholly does he seem to be forgotten. And there is another, Bainalph, called the Beautiful Swan, prince of the House of Cúalph, who saw in a young Legolas something he recognized, and had previously offered to foster him in his home. But between Thranduil and Bainalph lies a night of illicit and dangerous passion.Bainalph and Celeirdúr determine that Legolas should return to the Greenwood, and set forth on their own mission to find the prince.

But is Legolas truly safe with Vanimórë? And why did Dana, Mother of the Earth, hide the fact that she had journeyed with Maglor, and that the Northman who travels with Vanimórë and his warriors, is Sauron? Sauron, who senses the power that the blood of one as unique as Legolas and his child would bestow on him...

Summary: The series is mostly told completely from Sauron's point of view. His recollections blur the lines between good and bad, and he is brutally and gleefully honest about his deeds as he recalls events from the past and present and gives his opinions on them.rnrnThe stories start with the ill fated 'Tonight We Remember The Dead' and is followed by 'Summer Heat', a modern day noir detective tale, which tells the back-story of the psychotic Erestor and Bimbo Glorfindel, who later appear in 'Dark Judgement'. It is told in the third person because Sauron was not a witness to the events of their lives until they sailed to Valinor, whereupon he was ordered by the Valar to cure Erestor's murderous personality. rnrnThe story of Erestor's transformation is told in 'Dark Judgement'. More recollections follow on after 'Dark Judgement' and are written when Sauron is desperate to escape boredom and has nothing to do, or when he feels like telling Trainee Dark Lord Erestor a bedtime story. rnrnSauron writes about his life in the past, while in Middle-earth, and his new life in Valinor, always offering the most outrageous opinions and proposals. He is quite the raconteur! rnrnTo whet the appetite consider these questions - the answers to which are in the stories: rnWhat is Sauron most afraid of?rnWhat is actually in the Void and are there any good sweet shops there?rnWhat happened when Sauron was given a table at a restaurant next to Melian?rnWhat life changing experience happened to Erestor?rnWas Sauron really Cirdan's lover, and,if so, what did he do to his beard?rnWhy is Legolas mad?rnWho runs the Baby Weapons Store in Valinor?rnWhy did Maglor throw an axe at Sauron? Was it for hanging a painting of his family in the toilet?rnrnRead and you shall find out!Category:FictionCharacters:Amarië, Amras, Amrod, Caranthir, Celeborn, Celebrían, Celebrimbor, Celegorm, Círdan, Curufin, Elrond, Erestor, Estë, Fëanor, Galadriel, Gimli, Glorfindel, Irmo/Lórien, Legolas, Maedhros, Maglor, Mandos/Námo, Manwë, Melian, Melkor/Morgoth, Nienna, OFC, OMC, Saruman, Sauron, Thuringwethil, Tulkas, Uruk-Hai, Vairë, Varda/Elbereth, YavannaContent: Action/Adventure, Angst, AU, BDSM, Character Death, Drama, Dubcon, Erotica, Explicit Sex, Horror, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, Kink, Mpreg, Mystery, Rape/Non-con, RomanceChallenges: NoneStories: 5Challenge: NoneOpen: Closed

Vanimórë, son of Sauron, was born in the shadows of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. A plaything, a slave, a warrior, he was bound to his father's mind, and tempered as a weapon of the Dark over thousands of years.

They forged better than they knew.

Trained in the pits of Angband, Vanimórë could command armies, kill without conscience, and he could hate those he served. But he would not break for them. The blood of the Eldar ran strong in him. His path was inextricably linked to some of the most famed and tragic of the Elves, and lead to a destiny he could never have imagined.

Summary: How does one bear scars?rnrnThat all depends on who you are and how you earned them. Through an ever-growing number of standalones, the Flawless universe explores the relationships of Fingon and Maedhros, Gil-galad and Glorfindel, and Elrond and Celebrian in the context of the events in the Silmarillion.rnrnFor consistency's sake, the narrative uses Sindarin names. Please see individual stories for warnings and ratings, but you'll be pretty safe if you assume an overall R-rating and plenty of slash. Everything beta-read by the very lovely Maybe.rnrnNote: Flawless originally started off, some years ago, as a story of Glorfindel's rebirth in Lindon in mid-Second Age. It's now in the process of serious revision, so please suspend all disbelief if you ever read it in its first life and treat it as an entirely new being.Category:FictionCharacters:Celeborn, Celebrían, Círdan, Elrond, Erestor, Fingolfin, Fingon, Galadriel, Gil-galad, Glorfindel, Maedhros, Maglor, OFC, TurgonContent: Action/Adventure, Angst, Character Death, Drama, Explicit Sex, Romance, SlashChallenges: NoneStories: 2Challenge: NoneOpen: Closed

Summary: "The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater." ~JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings.
